Hottest ticket in town

JOE

Brought to you by The Curragh. 

It’s that time of year again.

The Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby Festival at the Curragh is one of the biggest racing events of the Irish summer. It’s a celebration of great racing action, live music, top quality food and, hopefully, more of this great weather.

The Curragh really is the place to from Friday, 30 June to Sunday, July 2. The jewel in Irish flat racing’s crown, the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby takes place on Saturday. Steeped in tradition and racing history, this year’s event will be the 152nd Irish Derby. The early betting favourites for the big one on Saturday are Cracksman at 9/4 and Wings of Eagles at 5/2.

Capacity for this historic race is limited to just 6,000 people this year, due to the redevelopment of the racecourse. Saturday is already a sellout but we’re offering you a chance to enjoy some great racing action and the unique Curragh atmosphere with three friends.

SportsJOE Derby Friday features the Hackett Apprentice Jockeys Derby and the party night of the festival, with the Apres Racing Party featuring the Honky Tonk Angels. Friday is also the day for the men to get suited and booted as the Hackett judges look for The Curragh’s Most Stylish Man. The first race is off at 5.45pm.

To celebrate SportsJOE’s sponsorship of the day, we have three sets of four tickets to give away for Derby Friday. To be in with a chance of winning tickets for you and three friends, just answer the question below.
